C-LIFF Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Good Morning, I have recently attempted to set up a Hackintosh for the primary use of running MAYA 2011. I have been able to install Snow leopard and getting the basics running but when I try anything some what cpu and graphics intensive it freezes on me and then the graphics go crazy resulting in a flashing black/purple box that covers the whole screen at first and then violently creeps down to reveal the frozen screen. This then continues endlessly until i restart my computer manually. I have full control of the mouse during all this but i cant click anything. To help here is the procedure i followed to install and the parts i have used. I have recently built a Hackintosh with the following parts: Processor: Intel Core i7 860 Mother board: GA-P55-USB3 Video Card: EVGA 9800 GT 1GB with 4gigs of DDR3 Ram I followed the guide on Tonymacosx86 (http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/04/[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]-[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]-install-mac-os-x-on.html) using the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] method. I installed snowleopard. I then installed the 10.6.4 Combo update. I then ran [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] installing easy beast for supported CPUS. I then installed the following kexts: (the screen just started flickering on me when i opened [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to get the kexts i installed) -ALC888 (legacy HDA and HDA Enabler) -NVEnabler (graphics) -realtek R1000SL (networking) -Core i& (smbios.plit) Once this was all installed i was recommend on another forum to install a disabler Kext using kext helper b7 to apparently help my EVGA video card to work properly (This was my first attempt at fixing the problem and it did not work).
